assertion (A) is followed by a statement of reason (R). Mark
the correct choice as:
(a)Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R)
is the correct explanation of assertion (A).
(b)Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true but reason (R)
is not the correct explanation of assertion (A).
(c)Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false.
(d)Assertion (A) is false but reason (R) is true.
1. Assertion : A linear equation 3x + 5y = 2 has a unique
solution.
Reason : A linear equation in two variables has infinitely
many solutions.
